Do-It Style "9" Shad Jig 1, 11/2oz
The Do-It Style "9" Shad Jig mold is a triangular lure head design built for serious custom jig builders and anglers who want to dial in their own tackle. At 1½oz, this mold produces a heavier jig head suited to deeper water, stronger current, and situations where you need to reach and hold structure quickly. If you're tying shad-pattern baits or experimenting with custom soft plastics, this mold gives you the foundation to build jigs that fish the way you want them to.
The defining feature of this jig head style is its triangular profile, which excels in challenging water conditions—particularly in faster current where a more traditional round head might tumble or lose position. Cast it in rivers, deep creeks, or moving reservoir sections where maintaining bottom contact and a stable presentation matters. The staggered barb design grips thick plastic bodies securely, so your shad bodies and other bulkier plastics won't spin out mid-retrieve or during the fight.
Do-It Products molds are made for anglers who take customization seriously. Casting your own jigs gives you control over head shape, weight, finish, and hook choice—something you can't get off a retail shelf. Whether you're matching a local forage profile, experimenting with colors the big manufacturers don't offer, or simply building better tackle for less, this mold is a practical tool for the DIY angler.

Frequently Asked Questions
What plastic bodies work with this jig mold?
The staggered barb is designed to hold thick plastic bodies securely, including shad-pattern plastics and other substantial soft plastic profiles. If you're uncertain about a specific plastic, test fit it before casting a full batch.
Is the "9" shad jig better for current than other head shapes?
Yes. The triangular profile of this style is engineered to perform better in faster currents and around structure, where it maintains a stable presentation more reliably than rounder jig head designs.
What do I need to cast jigs using this mold?
You'll need a basic jig mold casting setup: a jig mold frame, lead or lead-free casting material, a heat source, and hooks sized to match the mold cavity. This mold is the cavity—you supply the casting equipment and materials.
